I'm an educator, friend, daughter, sister, and mentor! Though I do all of these things VERY well, the one thing that I've not been able to do my entire life is be at a HEALTHY weight! In January of 2010, I had gone grocery shopping, only to return home and feel as if I were dying. I informed my 10 y/o niece of my complications, and I also told her that if something were to happen to me call 911. She instead, called my mother. I was rushed to the ER only to be told that after running tests, nothing could be found WRONG! I knew then that it was nothing but my weight! I decided to join a gym! I hired a personal trainer and I started eating right....to my amazement, I lost 70lbs and after getting a SECOND job and a new schedule, I retreated to my OLD ways!
NOW: I'm now 377 lbs. That's ALOT OF WOMAN!!! I'm the heaviest I've EVER been, and I'm so UNCOMFORTABLE. I can't sleep well at night, and even the easiest of tasks such as walking has become a chore. Cleaning my home takes FOREVER, and I can't be the teacher I need to be to my students, because most of the time I'm too tired to do my job well! I'm tired of being in THIS BODY!!!
I'm praying that God let this surgery go well, and I'm a praying for continued success....even at WEIGHT LOSS!!
